Bank of Singapore names new global head of Investment Advisory Solutions

Vivienne Chia will bring with her over 20 years of experience.

The Bank of Singapore has appointed Vivienne Chia as its Global Head of Investment Advisory Solutions.

Chia will be replacing Fidelis Oruche, who has held the position since 2013 as he takes on a new role as the global head of Alternative Investments and Managed Solutions.

Chia will be in charge of driving the development of—and innovation in—the bank’s investment advisory solutions across all asset classes in the capital markets to meet the needs of ultra-high and high net worth individuals in Bank of Singapore’s core markets in South and Southeast Asia, Greater China, and the Middle East. She will also oversee the daily operations of the Bank of Singapore’s trading rooms in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai International Financial Centre.

She brings with her more than 20 years of investment products advisory and management experience working in countries, such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Switzerland, where she advised a global clientele base.

She was most recently the head of Structured Products Origination and Product Management APAC at UBS Investment Bank based in Singapore. Prior to this, she was the head of Global Capital Markets APAC at UBS Wealth Management.

“Through her extensive career, Vivienne has gained a unique perspective in developing investment solutions across both investment banking and wealth management platforms to meet the needs and objectives of a full spectrum of clients. She also brings with her an astute sense of judgment in overcoming cultural, regulatory, and risk challenges to facilitate favourable business outcomes. She will be an asset to the Bank of Singapore team,” said the Global Head of Products Lim Leong Guan.

Bank of Singapore is the dedicated private banking subsidiary of OCBC Bank.
